Was curious if the standard Ruger 10/22 carbine is cash and carry or regulated in Maryland?

Great question to ask, because so many folks buy through dealers (when the dealer is without a clue). I watched a guy buying a sidelock muzzleloader at an un-named big box store recently, and they had him filling out the ATF Form 4473. After he was done, they made the call for the background check and escorted him out the door. All way above and beyond what was required. I wonder how many transactions like this occur every year?

In Maryland, who knows. Just curious. Was going to use a 10/22 I already own for this project but want one un-molested and want to make sure the receiver matches the suppressed barrel I bought. You, good excuse to buy another toy?

I recently spoke with a trooper (whatever the regulated firearms unit is referred to) because I was curious about that list. I was told that .22 versions of guns that are on that list are not regulated and are cash and carry. He explained the reasoning but I honestly don't remember, something about the firing mechanisms. What I did take away from the conversation was that anything .22 caliber is cash and carry. Hope that helps. Good Luck, Be Safe. (Referring to long guns only, NOT handguns)

That assumption is incorrect. There are at least two .22 rimfire rifles on the regulated firearms list.

Also, if someone was to sell a .22 AR that uses a standard AR lower and associated parts, that would be regulated. Now if we are talking about the .22 rimfire only AR clones, yep, those are cash and carry.
